How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 11: Flow

It's terrible...

The proteins of cells are combined in an acidic environment. If they transform into neutral or alkaline waters, the protein may deteriorate and lose its original activity...

Not only that, but also the water temperature. Since there are volcanoes, the water around it should be hot water. It is difficult to guarantee that the cells can adapt to hot water and adapt to normal water temperature.

"Am I trapped here like this?"

Huo Gu turned around and looked at the volcano again with a visual system.

After the water comes into contact with the hot lava, it instantly forms water vapor and rises to the surface of the water, and the vacant position will be filled with water around it.

In this way, a stream of water flowing to the volcano, a kind of 'black hole' on the seabed, is formed.

If it weren't for the towering rocks around, the water would be diverted...

If it weren't for the intermittent eruption of the volcano...

Huo Gu estimated that he was familiar with it now.

Nowadays, with the visual system, as long as you are careful enough, you can avoid the risk factors of those volcanoes well.

"So, won't you leave?"

Huo Gu asked himself hesitantly.

There are still many benefits if the dangers brought by those volcanoes are ignored.

The intermittent eruption of the volcano, while driving the water flow, also makes this water extremely eutrophic. Amino acids, proteins, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and other substances are almost within reach. It is simply the Eden of microorganisms.

To be honest, Huo Gu was a little moved when he thought of this.

After all, in this acidic water, only the volcano can threaten it, and the microorganisms that can adapt to this water can no longer pose a threat to it. It can only be its food.

"Maybe..."

"It's also a good choice to stay for a while and prepare well before taking action..."

The vibration, the sudden vibration, like some kind of huge creature, is stirring this water.

"What, what's going on?"

The cell core of the cell cluster is resonating with this vibration, which has never happened before.

Intuitively told Huo Gu that something was going to appear.

Before he could think about it, Huo Gu immediately hid between the cracks formed by two nearby boulders.

The vibration became more and more violent. Huo Gu could see from the cracks that the stones on the boulder fell from the top from time to time.

In the distance, with the faint light of the volcano, it can be seen that the bottom of the water seems to be covered with a faint veil, gently and gracefully swinging with the water.

It was volcanic ash that had been precipitated at the bottom of the water for a long time and is now stirred by shock.

The vibration continued for a while, and the frequency became more and more intense.

Finally, it seems to have reached a certain critical point.

A super-strong current that crushed all the previous water flows far away, wrapped in horrible potential energy, like a shock wave during a nuclear explosion, sweeping everywhere.

Wherever it passed, the small stones rolled up and the big stones turned over. Even the boulder was trembling.

Now Huo Gu finally understands why there are no small and medium-sized rocks at the bottom of the water nearby.

Previously, it was thought to be the result of perennial erosion of the current, but now it seems that it is thrown quite far away by this current.

Huo Gu tried his best to shrink himself into the innermost part of the gap.

However, even in the gap between the two huge stones, Huo Gu could still feel an unspeakable terrorist force trying to pull it out.

Once it's rolled out, it's over!

Huo Gu reminded himself of this in his heart. At the same time, it also commanded the cell cluster to change its shape, abandoning the original cylindrical shape and changing it to a complete fit of the stone seams without leaving a gap.

Like the previous vibration, this impact water flow lasted for a long time before it stopped.

After a while, when Huo Gu was sure that the current would not show signs of explosion again, he came out of the huge stone cracks with lingering palpitation.

"The direction of the eruption is on the other side of the volcano. Judging from the surrounding landforms, it is likely to appear frequently, but I was lucky before, just not long after the intermittent eruption..."

"This eruption is completely different from the previous intermittent water flow. This should not be the release of pressure formed by the blocked volcanic vent, but from the deeper lava surge..."

Summarize the information that can be collected and analyze the problem. This is Huo Gu's consistent practice, and it is precisely in this way that it can survive until now.

The rest is to make a choice.

Go or stay.

So, do you want to stay?

This option was rejected by Huo Gu as soon as it came out.

"No, I have to get out of here. That volcano may suddenly erupt one day. Once it comes, I have nowhere to run."

After what happened just now, it is impossible for Huo Gu to stay here no matter what he said.

The obtained flagella DNA is cut into the outermost wall cells, and countless microscopic cilia grow on the outside of cylindrical organisms.

Just as the propellers of ships need to be driven by engines, these flagellums also need to be driven by an 'engine' to achieve sliding water flow.

Fortunately, Huo Gu happens to have such an engine, which is mitochondria.

Proteins are collected for a period of time and stored in a new cavity opened by Huogu.

In order to facilitate the travel in the water, Huo Gu transformed the head and end of the cylindrical creature into a cone, and streamlined grooves appeared on the outside of the side.

In this way, the travel resistance of cell clusters in water will be much smaller.

Considering that in the process of swimming, you may encounter a relatively narrow area, the eyes that originally stretched out from the side of the cylindrical creature are retracted and turned into embedded in the side.

In order to ensure sufficient vision, Huo Gu added three eyes, one on the opposite side of the original eye, forming a 360-degree complete field of vision.

The other two are distributed in the front and back. The large cavity originally used to digest microorganisms is divided into six small cavities by Huo Gu. The junction of the small cavity has an eye, which is exactly at the top of the head and tail cone.

Every time you ingest those microorganisms to supplement protein, it is like the effect of a flower spreading its petals.

Because it is only designed to deal with microorganisms, it is transformed into a plant-like shape. If it really encounters macrobiotics, Huogu will use acid to make the other party give up.

After redesigning the shape, Huo Gu breathed a sigh of relief and eased the spirit of high concentration.

"For good, I haven't returned all the physics and chemistry in high school to the teacher."

The cell cluster began to operate under command.

However, sometimes, the idea is very good and may not be realistic. With the new design, new problems arise.
